2. When virtual currency crosses the Silk Road
This week I drove in the Hexi Corridor, all the way from Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan to Dunhuang, and passed through Fengshakou at the foot of the Qilian Mountains. Only then did I realize that the "Silk Road" is not a romantic word, but a sky full of wind and sand, continuous post stations and thousand-year-old camel bells.

4. From the technical game of FHE, TEE, ZKP and MPC launched by Sui's sub-second MPC network lka
The Ika network, which is strategically supported by the Sui Foundation, recently officially disclosed its technical positioning and development direction. As an innovative infrastructure based on multi-party secure computing (MPC) technology, the most notable feature of the network is its sub-second response speed, which is the first time in similar MPC solutions. The technical compatibility of Ika and Sui blockchain is particularly outstanding. The two are highly compatible in underlying design concepts such as parallel processing and decentralized architecture. In the future, Ika will be directly integrated into the Sui development ecosystem to provide a plug-and-play cross-chain security module for Sui Move smart contracts. Click to read
5. Cold thinking under the current market RWA craze
Since the beginning of this year, RWA has continued to become a hot topic of high concern worldwide. On the one hand, the United States and the European Union have continuously introduced relevant policies to respond to and regulate innovative formats in areas such as asset tokenization and stablecoins. For example, on April 3, the U.S. House of Representatives Financial Services Committee voted to pass the "Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy" (abbreviated as STABLE Act), and clarified the reserve and capital requirements and anti-money laundering standards required for the issuance of stablecoins; on the other hand, many financial institutions and industry leaders have announced the launch of token-related products.
